	I'm sorry / Connie (passerby) To Joey's family - I came upon this website as my nephew who died in 2003 also has a memorial website. I have to say that I am so very sorry for the loss of this beautiful young man. I did not know him but I know too well about heroin addiction. My brother was addicted for 10 years - although he did not die from it he came close to it. The thing that saved his life was going to prison for 3 years and thats where he got clean, but let me tell you that a day does not go by where we do not worry that this will take over his life once again. When he goes away for the weekend we do nothing but worry so although he is now clean the worry will remain with us for the rest of our lives. My nephew was not addicted to drugs - he chose to take his own life at the age of 19. there were no signs of depression which makes it even harder for us to understand our loss. Again I am so sorry for the loss of this beautiful young man. May god keep you in his embrace and help you through this trying time. a grieving aunt connie - http://sammypepe.memory-of.com

	a song that helped me... / Arika Steele (friend) Although the sun will never shine the same I'll always look to a brighter day Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep You will always listen as I pray And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven Like so many friends we've lost along the way And I know eventually we'll be together One sweet day Mariah Carey- One Sweet Day

	From Lindsay / Lindsay Gross (Friend) Leslie, I'm not sure if you remember me, we met under such horrible circumstances, but I worked with Joe at the Fox and Hound. I often think of him and I came across this site through Carla. I just wanted to thank you for creating this memory of him for me. I might have only known him for a short time, but the Joe I knew was the generous, caring, and gentle Joe that you described. I would just like you to know what an incredible impact he had on my life. I truly fell for your son from the fist time I saw him. It may seem silly to some, for I only knew him for such a short time, but I saw an amazing person in him, and he will always be in a part of my heart. I never had the chance to let him know how I felt, so it just seems right for me to let you know now. You raised an amazing son who touched my life and gave me a reason to look forward to going to work just so i could see his smile. I truly miss him, and he is always in my thoughts. You and your family are also in my thoughts and prayers, and I am thankful for having had the chance to know Joe. With love, Lindsay

	On Your 23rd Birthday / Mom JOEY TAYLOR 23^RD BIRTHDAY April 8, 2006 How can this be, that I am here To celebrate the birthday of one so dear I’ve thought all day long of birthdays past Naively I thought that they would last The greatest gift received on this day Was not a toy with which to play This gift was not for him, you see The gift that day was given to me A baby boy to change my world With big brown eyes and hair of gold With a smile so big and bright and wide And a heart as big as all outside A little boy who was so sweet The nicest you could ever meet Baseball, hockey, tap-dancing too There was nothing we wouldn’t do for you Birthdays then were Chuck E. Cheese The bowling lanes and MickyD’s One year at the Field of Dreams So very long ago, it seems He grew into a handsome teen With tie-dyed shirts and baggy jeans A writer, poet, and artist he His guitar always on his knee Mistakes were made and judgment bad I know he suffered and was sad Too soon he left his place on earth Much too close to the time of birth But he left behind a trail of light To remind us he’s just out of sight His lessons always will remain To love, be kind, do not cause pain Be patient, gentle, with everyone Take time to stop and feel the sun Consider those smaller than you Try to feel the way they do I am so proud of him, my son I’m thankful for all that he has done His bright spirit gives my spirit light Even if he is not in my sight So on this day, to him I say I miss you all of every day The gift of you was just the best You stood tall above all the rest Happy Birthday, today, my beautiful son My love for you will never be done. Love always and forever, My bright and shining star Mom

	Beautiful Boy / Crystal (gayleen) Hillstrom (friend of his mom ) Looking at Joey, he looks like many of the kids who come to my house. Friends of my kids. Hemp jewelry, tye-dyed shirts, very creative. You can't look at his pictures without being struck by his beauty......a knock your socks off smile. I know the hole left from a son long gone....for reasons we question daily. I just want to know after meeting Leslie, I have kept Joey in my mind and heart. I really like this website....you did a great job. You did Joey proud. Love Crystal

	never forget / Carla Rinehart (friend/sister) Joey, I miss you more every day. I will never forget the first 20 years of my life with you, and I will think about you, love you and miss you until I see you again someday. Until then save a seat for me.....

	Friend / Jane Shaw Dear Leslie, Your son Joey is beautful....When I looked at his pictures I could see the love in his eyes and the energy of his gentle ways. On Sunday I will think of him and all the children we spoke about today Dec 7th . ....Jane

	life / Joshua "Lifer" Gray (BFF) I dont even know where to start. From when my dad and Mr t played softball and we played on the field next to it and knowing each other when we were younger. He was always one year above in baseball and i got called up one game and had to play his team. What do you know hes starting pitcher in the game. We all are kids with rumors and always afraid of the fast pitchers like joe kellan wheeler and bob medeja just to mention a few. I got into the box with the rest of the team just sayin try your best because i was younger and not used to this level. I looked at him and we both smirked like here it goes. Luckily i got a walk but he got the win. Joe also took me to my very first concert which was tom petty and just had an unbelievable time with friends and understood how much more i loved music. Listening to smashing pumpkins in the garage over and over never got old. Love you joe and the entire taylor family.
